About Me

I'm a senior English and French major in college in Minnesota. I've loved cooking since I was a wee young thing, and living in Paris for 6 months only encouraged it! I'm thinking about going to cooking school after graduation, although to what end I just don't know...

Four snackies

Ari and I saw Four Christmases yesterday.... it was pretty good, as far as new Christmas movies go (nothing can beat the classics, which will surely be gracing this blog in the near future). I don't think Ari was such a fan, but then again holiday movies aren't really his forte, so to speak.I got him an ornament to hang on the tree, and we're going to bake gingerbread cookies together if we ever both have time at the same time... I will turn this grinch into a santa if it's the last thing I do! (He calls himself Santa Claus because of his beard now anyway, so we're already halfway there.)

I slept so horribly last night. The lights were out around 1, but the heat was up so high that we both woke up around 3 and didn't fall back asleep until 7. That's SEVEN O'CLOCK. So I ended up sleeping until 12, which I desperately needed but I also desperately need to finish my French paper... it's coming along.

We had some technical issues last night and after I remembered that I'd forgotten (got that?) to post one of my snacks, the image wouldn't load. So, yesterday I had a mess (or "mucky pudding," as Ari called it) of 0% Fage, pumpkin, honey and cashew butter. Delish! I also had the rest of my Zone Perfect bar after I ate my dumplings and cheesy toast; there was only about 1/3 of it left because Charley, prowling dog that he is, snatched it out of my purse and licked it down. Bad dog! So I broke off that piece... I just don't believe that saying that a dog's mouth is cleaner than a human. Show me evidence and my mind can be swayed.

This morning ("afternoon") I had "breakfast" of grapes and a Chai Tea Luna bar. Perfect. I could use a little coffee but I don't feel like going all the way to the store to get it, nor do I really have time. I will probably live without it.

I'm not sure if I'm working tonight yet, so hopefully lunch will be posted before dinner. Have a fantastic Monday, everyone!
